Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Tuesday, Victor Huyke, the Publisher of Bi-weekly El Conquistador Latino Newspaper and sponsor of the annual Fiesta Puerto Rico & Parade 2026 in Milwaukee announced that a Gofundme account has been created at the following link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-fiesta-puerto-rico-celebrate-give-back to help generate much needed funds for the June 7th festival in Milwaukee.
According to Huyke, he attributed the creation of the Gofundme "due to unexpected cost overruns...and facing a critical budget shortfall", which donations generated will be used to cover required permits, artists and entertainment fees, including essential equipment and production expenses."
It's the first time Huyke has created a Gofundme account to generate funding for the Fiesta Puerto Rico & Parade. Huyke also recently sponsored the Cinco de Mayo Celebration at Serb Hall in early May.
The co-organizer of both the Fiesta Puerto Rico & Parade 2026, and the Cinco de Mayo Celebration 2026 in Milwaukee is Jose Rodriguez, according to Huyke. Huyke credited Rodriguez for this year's major success of the Cinco de Mayo Festival at Serb Hall.
This year's Fiesta Puerto Rico & Parade is scheduled for June 7, 2026 from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Humboldt Park located at the 3000 block of S. Howell Ave. in Milwaukee.
